Wild Food Cafe, Sunday 24th June

There aren't many pictures of me on this blog, so here's one from the foraging workshop on Sunday. We're busy gathering lavender flowers, which we used to make lavender sugar. The sugar adds a subtle aroma to your home baking!

We gathered our lavender from three useful sources: The children's playground outside the Laban centre; Deptford churchyard; and Margaret MacMillan Park. One participant commented how fascinating it is to compare the different varieties - they look, smell and taste very different!

Here our foragers are looking around Sue Godfrey nature reserve, where we collected a host of different greenery for making 'German Green Sauce.' I'll upload the recipe in a later post!

We ended the afternoon at Cafe 465, where we prepared a lovely midsummer's lunch...
